Description
This vivid and rebellious acrylic mixed-media portrait of Abraham Lincoln transforms the iconic president into a surreal, expressive figure bursting with color and symbolism. Rendered in an unfiltered folk-art style, Lincoln's wide, anxious eyes and elongated features are outlined with bold, raw brushstrokes that exude intensity and distortion.
The background is a chaotic tapestry of American and British flags, abstract flames, and a mysterious secondary figure-possibly a historical echo or political commentary. The heavily textured surface is layered with thick paint, glittering embellishments, and collage-like details, including flag motifs embedded directly into the ornate gold frame.
Signed by Serg Graff, the piece fuses satire, patriotism, and outsider art sensibility, offering a provocative, modern take on a national symbol. It's both a tribute and a critique-visually loud, emotionally charged, and unapologetically unconventional.
It comes signed, dated, and with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity).
Presented in a gold hand-decorated frame.
Excellent condition.
Framed measures 30 "x 24", painting measures 24 "x 18".
